Abstract

In this paper, numeric simulations are performed for three dimension models built according to actual surface cleaner in airport runway rubber mark cleaning vehicle using ANSYS FLUENT software on the basis of previous research finished by the authors. After analyzing the simulated flow fields under different standoff distances between nozzle outlet and runway surface and different discharge pressures at nozzle outlet, the relationships of normal stress and shear stress at striking point to outlet pressure and standoff distance are obtained. Finally, the most appropriate discharge pressure at nozzle outlet for the studied surface cleaner model is found, and this will provide theoretical basis for future rubber mark cleaning process in airports and equipment model selection in subsequent design of airport runway rubber mark cleaning vehicles.
